About This Property

AMAZING LOCATION!!! Right in the heart of Harvard Square is a cottage with its own historic pedigree--10 1/2 is part of the S.B. Withey House (in front at 10 Appian Way --a Greek Revival with its own Wikipedia page and listed in the National Register of Historic Places). This 700-sf house offers everything you might want, sunny rooms, open plan, privacy, two floors, disposal, gas range, fenced-in private patio, and a private laundry in the full, dry basement. Significantly rehabbed since built, and nestled between buildings of the Harvard School of Education, it's a stone's throw from Brattle Street, the ART, Red Line T, the river, and all the joys of Harvard Square. Yet it's quiet, even when graduate students return for classes. And the fenced-in patio area enables you to do yoga & entertain outside. Rarely on the market, this house once gave shelter to poet John Berryman and Irish short story writer, Sean O'Faolain. On-street parking available w/ permit. CAT FRIENDLY; no pet fee.

1 Appian Way is a house located in Middlesex County and the 02138 ZIP Code. This area is served by the Cambridge School District attendance zone.

Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
